In the build-up to Manchester United’s 4-2 win over Arsenal at Highbury in 2005, club captains Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira got involved in a massive argument in the tunnel as the two teams were lining up. Known to have a long and bitter rivalry, the two went right at each other, with Pascal Cygan, Dennis Bergkamp and referee Graham Poll helping break up the fight.

During the customary handshakes, Vieira was ignored by Keane, Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney, while Gary Neville gave the Frenchman a cold stare as he shook his hand.
